Cross-sectional study to investigate the association between vitamin D status and cutaneous mast cell tumours in Labrador retrievers.
Epidemiological data indicate that low serum vitamin D concentrations are associated with an increased risk of a variety of human tumours. Cutaneous mast cell tumours (MCT) occur more frequently in dogs than in any other species. Canine MCT express the vitamin D receptor, and vitamin D derivatives have in vitro and in vivo anti-tumour activity. We sought to examine the association between vitam...

متن کاملCutaneous mast cell tumours in dogs.
Canine mast cell tumors (MCT) vary greatly, and no prediction can be made for their behavior on clinical appearance alone. Important prognostic information can be gained from histologic grading and assessment of surgical margins. Surgical excision is indicated if the tumour is solitary and is the treatment of choice for grade 1 and 2 MCT. Excision should include a minimum 2cm margin around the ...

متن کاملGenome-Wide Association Study of Golden Retrievers Identifies Germ-Line Risk Factors Predisposing to Mast Cell Tumours.
Canine mast cell tumours (CMCT) are one of the most common skin tumours in dogs with a major impact on canine health. Certain breeds have a higher risk of developing mast cell tumours, suggesting that underlying predisposing germ-line genetic factors play a role in the development of this disease. The genetic risk factors are largely unknown, although somatic mutations in the oncogene C-KIT hav...
